Chia NFT 1 Standard
Here is the official Chia NFT Introduction
So now you know how to mint a NFT. But your NFT data isn't saved in the chia blockchain (this is what it isn't designed for. Its designed for making immutable transactions. Is's a ledger). So:
Me: "How to save your NFT data" You: "use a HDD"
Me: "How to immutable save your NFT data" You: "burn a CD ROM"
Me: "How save your NFT data immutable, accessible and distributed" You "..."
Me: "Shut up, you know what i mean"
Save your NFT Data on a internet distributed Filesystem
The Systems i know (so far) that are used for saving NFT Data are (for example): - ipfs.io - arweave.org
I go with ipfs.ip with a typical Home Environment
Installing with user in sudo group
wget https://dist.ipfs.io/kubo/v0.14.0-rc1/kubo_v0.14.0-rc1_linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf kubo_v0.14.0-rc1_linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd kubo
sudo ./install.sh
After installing as normal User i go with the cli quickstart guide for ipfs
This runs the daemon now with this user account in the current shell. I would need to write a service file for systemctl to start the service on system start and keep it running
This loads a spaceship launch picture from the ipfs network.
To get my own file into ipfs i did this:
This returns a hash for the file you can use to load it again. You also can save this directyl in a variable:
then try to Get your File again
And what? .... Timeout!
Now comes the part the Quickstart documentation leaves out. In my Home environment i am behind NAT. The other IPFS nodes cannot reach me directly. Also there are addresses. Per Default ipfs tries the following. - Announces all your addresses it knows - Your public IP is also determined (i think it tests against a web service or so) - Tries to open a port via UPNP
now the security settings on my router dont allow UPNP per default. But instead of simply enabling UPNP i precisely open a port for this service
i configured this snippet of ~/.ipfs/config
- i use port 14001 tcp and udp
- i do not announce any private ip addresses
"Addresses": {
"Swarm": [
"/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/14001",
"/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/14001/quic"
],
"Announce": [],
"AppendAnnounce": [],
"NoAnnounce": [
"/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/14001",
"/ip4/127.0.0.1/udp/14001/quic",
"/ip4/192.168.1.144/tcp/14001",
"/ip4/192.168.1.144/udp/14001/quic"
],
}
after doing these settings and restarting the ipfs daemin again ipfs id annouced only these addresses i am reachable over the internet now.
One Terminal for Server
Another for controlling the daemon
So now i am reachable via public ip
